Web Video Hosting

Blip.tv
A great service for great shows. They take care of the servers, the software, the workflow, the advertising and the distribution, leaving you free to focus on creativity.

Vimeo
A thriving community of people who love to make and share video. Quality and security are important here, which is why they’ve built advanced privacy options, sharing tools, and high quality video encoding. Good for amateur filmmakers, proud moms, restaurant critics, or just a guy with a cellphone.

Youtube
Not sure. Heard you can post videos here but haven’t tried it.

Internet Archive
Non-profit organization that stores and hosts your media forever. They have an incredible infrastructure, and you can count on your files staying intact there for eternity or at least the zombacalypse. Useful for educational videos, public domain material, long-form content (use the FTP site), and backing up your video archive on the web.
